I Have put this up as a new topic just so that it gets top billing again
Briefing will be at 2.15 pm. Start at 2.30 pm.
This event? will occur weekly until it gathers its own momentum. Or does not.In which case I will get bored with racing myself and give up.
Any more questions or comments I will answer within 24 hours on this forum.
sounds super Barry which day of the weekend or just the forecast is the dictator !
Hi Stroppo - this from Barry's original thread..
A proposal to initiate racing from the Novara boat ramp.
The idea is that such racing be as inclusive and informal as possible Their willl be no club,no fees,no special marks,no rescue boats and no responsibility accepted for safety,or indeed anything. The first race will start at 2.30 pm Sunday 20th April 2014. Briefing at 2.15 pm. Start. the plastic pipe closest to the rigging area. to end of channel markers to starboard. to wooden post inshore ( approx 90 degrees from first leg ) to starboard back to end channel markers to port to start marker to starboard to the closest rock garden marker (the plastic 100 x 50 downpipe) to port to start mark to starboard to beach. Thats it. About 30 minutes. Almost all of the course is in very shallow water. centre boards will hit the bottom on some legs. Every body is welcome.Any kiter who can get upwind is welcome. SUPs are welcome. If the wind is very light you will win. If there are enough starters a handicap system will be devised. If we get strong winds slalom racing will be organized. The title of the series will be"The Intergalactic and local waters championship of 2014" If enough people turn up the event will be fine tuned . If nobody turns up I will declare myself the inaugural champion and award myself a perpetual trophy. If any one has comments or queries please use this forum to reply
